Introduction

Hi, I’m Alessandra. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDRIA Certified Therapist™ with nearly 11 years of experience supporting teens and adults throughout California. I was drawn to this work through my love of psychology and a desire to help people build healthier, more fulfilling lives. Many of the people I work with are used to holding everything together for everyone else, even while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, hard on themselves, or affected by experiences from the past. I specialize in trauma, PTSD and complex trauma, anxiety, and self-worth. I also support people living with chronic health concerns and am pursuing additional training in the psychological treatment of Functional Neurological Disorder. I primarily use EMDR, a structured therapy that combines working through memories and emotions with guided eye movements, alternating sounds, or tapping. EMDR can help experiences from the past feel less immediate and reduce the ways they continue to affect how you feel, respond, and relate to yourself and others today. I may also draw from CBT, mindfulness, parts work, and person-centered therapy to meet your individual needs. My style is warm, collaborative, and flexible. You do not need to arrive with everything figured out, and you are always welcome to tell me when something is or isn’t helping. Together, we can work toward releasing some of the pressure you have been carrying, trusting yourself more, and making room for your own needs.
